WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 19BS BLTTREVILUI (ARK.) COURIER NEW! Kenny Wins Majority In Jersey City Election JERSEY CITY N. J., (AP) — Mayor John V. Kenny retained a place on the City Commission in a close-fought municipal election yesterday but whether this 'meant his re-election as mayor remained in question. Kenny and his bitter rival Frank lieutenant, and Eggers eacli knew Hague Eggers—two Democratic Gollalhs—both were chosen city commissioners in the election In which waterfront crime was the principal issue. Unofficial totals showed that Kenny carried two of his supporters with him to victory, giving the mayor's forces a 3-2 majority £>on the five-man commission, which *• fills the mayor post from among its members. One of Eggers' candidates won with him. For Eggers, .it was a step on the comeback trail from 1949, when a full Kenny ticket swept Eggers out of office and tore the once- invincible Prank Hague Democratic empire into tatters. Eggers is Hague's nephew. The election result, a big surprise to a city which had not elected a split ticket in nearly four decades, is almost certain to be disputed. Under New Jersey law, the five men receiving the largest number of votes are elected. Thirteen can- didats were in the field, three of them independents. Eggers' campaign manager, State Sen. Edward J. O'Mara (D- Hudson) pointee to the unofficial vote results which placed an Eggers' candidate—Thomas Gangemi —in sixth place by only 222 votes and said: "I'm sure there'll be a recheck.' The vote result also was unique p in Jersey City in that two Repub- ^ licans were elected in the Democratic bastion—but each was a rival ticket. The Eggers' forces claimed early today they did not receive or see tally sheets from 12 districts which . mistakenly were locked up in the city clerk's office. They demanded to see the sheets on ground that a check might show that Gangemi possibly placed fifth. If so, this would give the 3-2 City Commission majority to Eggers instead of Kenny. Joshua Bingle, only GOP running mate of Eggers and a longtime Hague foe, topped the field with 63,876 votes. Eggers followed with 62,805; Bernard Berry, a Kenny man, 62,491; Kenny, 61,'738, and Donald Spence, the Kenny Republican re-elected to office, 16,397. Ringle and Spence are on opposite sides of the Hudson County GOP fence in an internal party squabble. The five-man commission will meet Tuesday to select a mayor. Kenny, asked who will be mayor under his controlling three-man bloc, replied, "I don't know right now. but the three of us will talk it over." Hudson County Sheriff William Kelly acted quickly to place polic t guards over the voting machine in the 312 election districts. He said the move was decide "in view of high tempers and split ticket." " The total vote was 135.000 8,00 under the city's record vote 143,000 in 1949, when 90 per cen of the 165,000 eligibles turned out.

Sordid reports or waierfroni crime, corruption, racketeering bombings, beatings and slaylngs along the pier-studded Hudson River waterfront attracted- inves tigative spotlights from state to national levels. Kenny has countered the atacks with the. contention that the waterfront problems were inherited from the Hague-Eggers era, which held sway for 32 years. But his foes pointed to such instances as testimony before th New York State Crime Commission linking Kenny to waterfront racketeers. Kenny described the testimony as politically motivated.
